INTRODUCTION: BEING HEAVENLY MINDED TO DO SOME EARTHLY
GOOD! LIVING TO LIVE AGAIN!


Job 14:14 {NLT}- “Can the dead live again? If so, this
would give me hope through all my years of struggle, and I would
eagerly await the release of death”.


According to Biblical scholars, this is the oldest book and the
oldest question in the world and it is still a question that is
asked by so many every day.  It is the reason that so many
of us have received the gift of salvation because we believed the
words of Jesus that He offers us eternal life but if you don’t
accept Him it will be eternal death.  Either way, we are
either to live in eternal rest or eternal unrest.


Job is a man full of faith that is under a test ordained by God
and doubted by three of his closes friends. They have accused him
of some hidden sins in life and each time he responds to them
with words of affirmation of trusting God no matter what was
happening in and around him.   In spite of what he didn’t
know, he did have the blessed hope of living this life to live
again. How many of us have this mentality that in spite of what
you lose {family, friends, possessions, health, you are willing
to wait until your change comes! 


This life is more fulfilled when you have the mindset that there
is something better on the other side of us dying.  Even
though there was not much talk about resurrection in the Old
Testament, there are several times that heaven is mentioned.
These saints knew that the end of life on this earth, so they had
hope of living again. 


You will have a new body, a mansion, a crown, a white robe, an
unnumbered number of brothers and sisters awaiting you.  Our
attitudes, actions, and the way we worship change.  When all
of God’s children get together, What a time, what a time!


We can’t keep living our lives in vain, we can’t continue to take
our breathing for granted, we can no longer believe that time is
on our side. The rest of the day is not promised to us, we can be
here today and gone today.  


Your soul is so important to God that He has done everything that
could possibly be done to get you into heaven, but He won’t force
you, it is a free gift, it a choice we personally must make. He
is standing at the door urgently knocking and knocking. Do you
hear Him, will you let Him in right now? 


Job affirmed his belief in living to live again when in Job
19:25-26 {NLT}- “But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives,
and he will stand upon the earth at last. 26 And after my
body has decayed, yet in my body, I will see God


So, my sisters and brothers let us do as Paul encouraged us to do
in Thessalonians 4:1 to live a life that is pleasing to God!


SCRIPTURES TO LIVE BY: 


JOHN 11:25- Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and
the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they
die.


Romans 8:38-39-38 For I am convinced that neither
death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[a] neither the present
nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor
depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to
separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our
Lord.
